transmission

I have a 4wd F250 diesel 1986 190000km. I get alot of chatter when I let the clutch out on an incline. What would cause this? What is the sequence of testing to isolate the problem?

Would oil on the clutch or a broken motor mount have the same symptoms? Again, the chatter happens when the clutch is under load. I also noticed that after a long trip 6-8 hours driving that the chatter happens even under light clutch loading

How old is the clutch? Sound like it may have oil on the disk, or just be plain worn out..

The clutch has 190000km(approx 120000miles)The chatter only happens starting off in 1st gear when I'm on a hill. If I use the transfer case to start off I don't get chatter!

I would say the clutch had a good life on such a heavy truck. Baby it, until it starts to slip while trying to accelerate, and then replace it.
